Sweet Peace
7/24/12
---------------------------------------------------
I stand over you and stare
There is nothing to read—nothing there
I want to hold you in my arms
But I lack the eloquence—I lack the charms
You are everything and more
I know I’m just a creep—I know that I’m a bore
You see through me fast
Your soft eyes pierce through—cutting through my mask
You gnaw your way into my past
Without the slightest effort—without a glance
My mind and heart are an open book
But can you read it? —is it too painful to look?
Anger wraps its wrath around
My mind is clouded—my heart is bound
White eyes drifting to the floor
I want you more and more and more
But the inadequacy is there
Staring you down—making you scared
My face is bare. . .my face is bare
Do you even care?
I want to know what is under YOUR mask
I tell you all about me—but you never ask
Can I ask you where your heart has gone?
Where are you now?
What planet are you on?
I need to tell you I love you in advance
Before it happens again—just give me a chance
I want to know you in every way
So my other side won’t tear you apart someday
Let me lift your mask—I need to see your face
Send me into sweet peace
Sail me into your embrace
